梦游天姥吟留别-Ascending Mount Tianmu in a Dream —A Song of Farewell
梦游天姥吟留别
李白
海客谈瀛洲,烟涛微茫信难求。
越人语天姥,云霓明灭或可睹。
天姥连天向天横,势拔五岳掩赤城。
天台四万八千丈,对此欲倒东南倾。
我欲因之梦吴越,一夜飞渡镜湖月。
湖月照我影,送我至剡溪。
谢公宿处今尚在,渌水荡漾清猿啼。
脚著谢公屐,身登青云梯。
半壁见海日,空中闻天鸡。
千岩万转路不定,迷花倚石忽已瞑。
熊咆龙吟殷岩泉,栗深林兮惊层巅。
云青青兮欲雨,水淡淡兮生烟。
列缺霹雳,丘峦崩摧。
洞天石扉,訇然中开。
青冥浩荡不见底,日月照耀金银台。
霓为衣兮风为马,云之君兮纷纷而来下。
虎鼓瑟兮鸾回车,仙之人兮列如麻。
忽魂悸以魄动, 惊起而长嗟。
惟觉时之枕席,失向来之烟霞。
世间行乐亦如此,古来万事东流水。
别君去兮何时还?
且放白鹿青岩间,须行即骑访名山。
安能摧眉折腰事权贵,使我不得开心颜!
Ascending Mount Tianmu in a Dream — A Song of Farewell
Li Bai
Of fairy hills in the sea, seafarers will speak,
But in dim mist and vast waves, they are hard to seek.
Talking ’bout Mount Tianmu, Yue people have e’er been;
Through clouds and rainbows coming or going, it may be seen.
Mount Tianmu leads to the sky and across it lies,
O’erpowers the Five Peaks and Mount Red City defies.
Mount Tiantai, though forty-eight thousand zhang in height,
Will crumble down in the south-east, where it’s in sight.
Their chat makes me long to have a Yue roam in dream.
O’er Mirror Lake I flew one night in the moonbeams.
The lake moon continues on my shadow to gleam
And accompanies me till I have reached Shan Stream.
Where the poet Xie once lived is seen to remain;
Clear water waves and gibbons wail with might and main.
When I’ve put Xie’s shoes on my feet, one for foot each,
I tread on mountain paths to come in blue clouds’ reach.
Halfway up the mount, I see the sun rise at sea,
And heaven cocks’ crows in the air are heard by me.
Myriads of cliffs and turns make uncertain the way;
With my clinging to rocks and flowers, darkens the day.
Bears’ roars and dragons’ howls round rocky springs rumble
And make the woods shudder and piles of peaks tremble.
It looks like rain, so densely are the clouds clustering;
O’er the rippling limpid water, mist is gathering.
Bright flashes the lightning, loudly rumbles the thunder;
Hillocks in a range are crushed and torn asunder.
Stone gates of the cavern immortals occupy
Are with a bang split into two parts there to lie,
Showing a blue sky vast and boundless, whence shine
The sun and moon on gold and silver terraces fine.
With the rainbows as clothes and the winds as horses,
The Lords of Clouds come swarming down in great forces.
Tigers play the zithers, phoenixes pull the cars;
Numerous are immortals that line up to pass.
Suddenly I start, my heart aches and my soul moans;
Awaken, I stand up and utter long, long groans,
Unchanged are the mat and pillow I’m lying on,
While the wished-for visions I’ve just seen are all gone.
The merry-makings in the world are just these like;
Things and east-flowing water are fore’er alike.
I bid you good-bye, not sure when I’ll be back here.
Among the green rocks, I am to tend a white deer.
I’ll ride it to roam ’bout famous mounts, far or near.
How can I lower brows and stoop before men in power
And have to keep my face and heart all the time sour!
